No permit needed. I took a 15' Ryder/liftgate over to PA to pick up the
truckload of DEC gear. I was told of limitations only when I inquired about
the 25' truck waiting to be rented. Because of it being above a certain
GVW I would need a CDL. I think its' having air brakes were mentioned too
as being a limitation for me.
I had to maintain a detailed mileage log and pay road use tax when I
brought the 15' truck back. Did you Joe?
Regards, Chris
